Status Updates From How I Killed Pluto and Why ...

My 8 year old got very excited when he saw this book. We are reading it together and for a book written by an astronomer it is quite readable.

"I could passionately describe the rings of Saturn, [..], but the fact that these distant worlds were up in the sky above me was never really part of how I thought about them, much like when I think of Antarctica now I think of pictures and descriptions and maps, but I never really think about the fact that if I jumped in a boat, turned south, and started sailing, I would actually end up there." That was me as a kid!
